##About

Soapi.JS2 is being released separately from Soapi.JS as it is a completely different take on accessing the API via JavaScript.

Soapi.JS is a very lightweight library that provides full API coverage.

Soapi.JS2 takes it to 11 with a complete paradigm shift. It is a bit heavier and revolves around a fluent, relational query approach similar to that of the Soapi.CS library, providing a seamless view on the data served by the API.
